  • Budget:  $7

Viruses are not life-forms themselves, because they can’t survive on their own. They must take over about the biology of viruses. Viruses are very small particles that act as cellular parasites. It’s cellular machinery in order to survive.

This chapter initially talked about factors common to all viruses, and then turned to those aspects that are particular to HIV. HIV is a member of a class of virus know as retroviruses. While most viruses use DNA as their genetic material, retroviruses use RNA Reverse transcriptase is a protein in retroviruses that copies RNA into DNA, and then helps the viral DNA integrate into the cellular chromosomes, where it will remain for the life of that infected cell.

For this discussion, choose one example of the viral biology to focus on. Choose one aspect that was unusual interesting to you. Do some research to find out a little more about it. Here is a list of examples, but you can think of other Ones as well:

a. the retrovirus life cycle

b. anti-HIV therapies

c. the ELISA “HIV test”

d. the fate of HIV infected cells

e. HIV latency

f. direct cell to cell spread of the HIV

g. how HIV kills T-cells that aren’t infected with HIV

h. If viruses aren’t alive, what motivates them to keep going on?

Each student should write up one primary post of about 150-200 words.

Assignment 3: How is Technology Changing the Face of Business Today?

The traditional retail model has focused on finding high-margin, high-volume products or services because limited space means reduced space inventory. For example, organizations such as Walmart select the biggest hits from the broadest genres, called the “short head.” The short head means Walmart will only carry a select mix of country, pop, and rock that is calculated to provide the greatest cost/benefit. The business model of Amazon is different. Amazon provides the short head but also provides the “long tail” of more than 100,000 different audio selections. The competition for customers between the Walmart and Amazon marketplace is profoundly changing the face of retail business today.

Using the assigned reading and the Argosy University online library resources, find at least three scholarly articles that address similar current trends related to e-business and how e-business is changing the face of businesses today.

Using your company or a real-world example from your research, respond to the following:

  • Describe how technology is changing the face of businesses today.
  • Describe the most critical business processes that utilize information systems in your selected company.
  • Explain how IT makes the company’s business processes faster, cheaper, more accurate, and customer-savvy than that of competitors.
  • Cite at least three sources found in your online library research.

Give reasons and examples from your research to support your responses.

Research Assignment – Leadership

Research Assignment – Leadership

Assume you have landed your dream job with your dream employer, a global company with several thousand employees with offices and facilities all over the world.  You have been recognized as an “up and comer” and placed in the company’s training program. Part of this program involves sending you to UMUC to take management courses, including this one, with “Professor Sharp,” an expert in the field.

In the past, the company’s recognition of future talent such as you has been based on gut feelings. Top management wants to refine the process, and your supervisor has asked you to write a synopsis on leadership, and to suggest an instrument that can be used to evaluate or predict the leadership capabilities of job applicants. After an informal conversation regarding your assignment with your supervisor, you make notes of the following points:

  • What is leadership?
  • Is leadership a trait or      a process?
  • Is leadership assigned or emergent?
  • Is leadership the same as management?  Is managing leading?
  • Are leaders born or made?
  • Are there commonalities among leaders?
  • Do leaders have certain      skills? If so, what?
  • Do leaders behave in certain      ways? If so, how?
  • Can the same leadership      techniques apply to a variety of conditions?
  • Is it possible to identify      certain characteristics of an individual and then match them to a      leadership position?
  • Are there any instruments      (questionnaires or tests) available to determine leader      characteristics?
  • Are the same leadership      techniques applicable to different countries?

In a follow-up conversation, your supervisor points out that it would be impossible to cover each of those points in 4 to 6 pages.  What he/she has in mind is for you to consider the various leadership concepts you have studied, pick the one you think is most applicable, and recommend a particular course of action that applies best to your company.

  • portable devices (cell phones, pocket calculators, tablets), desktop computers, computer networks

Discuss any ethical, legal, and security implications of using technology to create and share numerical data.

Use properly documented sources from this course or other valid outside resources to justify, support, and expand on your response.
